Here is an under-utilized feature available within most of our domain name products (Domain Punch Professional and Watch my Domains ISP).

You can find it under the Edit menu and is labeled Whois output search settings.

Simply type in any text string and the software will display all the domains that have the text within the whois data records. Here are two typical applications…

• Quickly find domains that have a specific registry status. The software will automatically extract and display only the first displayed status text. So this option will help you find additional status settings.
• Find domains that use a specific administrative email contact or a specific phone number. It is important to keep the domain whois records up-to-date. If your contact information has changed, you can use this feature to find domain records that need to be updated.
